"Lilacs"

Clark turned around to see Chloe standing behind him with a bright smile on her face.

"Oh, Chloe… I didn't see you there. Lilacs what?" Clark seemed confused, but to Chloe, that wasn't anything new. She was use to seeing Clark with a confused look on his face, but this time there seemed to be something else, like he was feeling sad as well.

"Lilacs are my favorite flower! I saw you come in here and I thought I would "suggest" what you should buy for our date tonight. Hope you don't think I am being too forward."

Clark looked at Chloe and then placed his hand on her shoulder. "Chloe I'm so sorry. I totally forgot. I made plans to go out with Lana tonight. I'm sorry."

"Oh," was the only thing Chloe could make out, "sorry for thinking you cared about me Clark. I will be sure not to make the same mistake twice." Chloe turned around and stormed out of the flower shop, Clark chasing after her.

Clark finally reached Chloe in front of the Beanery, "Chloe I said I was sorry, but I didn't think you would take it so seriously. We never said that this was an actual date."

"What the fuck Clark. Are you stupid? Last week you said and I quote you, 'Want to go on a date this Friday?' I should have known Lana was the one you really wanted. How could I be so stupid? Just leave me alone!" Chloe turned to walk into across the street to her car but was stopped when she saw Lana coming towards her. 'Fuck' Chloe thought.

"Hey Chlo what's…" Lana saw the tears forming in Chloe's eyes, "what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was on my way to my car." Chloe by passed Lana and ran into the street to her car, Clark again chasing after her.

"Chloe why are you so upset? You are taking this way too seriously. Lana and I did nothing wrong… CHLOE!!!!"

Just as Clark was about yell out something along the line as 'fine be that way' Chloe turned around.

"What Clark? What could you possibly say that could change how you have been treating me? I'm sorry that I'm not like Lana Lang ok, but god, you could at least notice me when she around." Chloe turned back around and got into her car. She looked into the rearview mirror and saw Clark standing there. 'How could he do this to me?' she asked herself. Just as Chloe was about to answer her own question, the sound of a horn beeping quickly brought her back to reality.

Chloe looked at the road to see a silver car coming straight at her. She tried to get out of the way but wasn't fast enough and in a split second she had ran into the other car.

"Fuck! Kill me now please!" Chloe yelled at the sky as she got out of her. She turned around to talk to the driver of the vehicle but stopped in her tracks to see Lex Luthor slamming his door shut.

"Please tell me why you were driving on the opposite side of the road Miss. Sullivan." Lex said, looking at her with a scowl.

Chloe went to talk but was interrupted by Clark running down the street yelling, "Are you ok Lex?"

When Clark finally reached them, Lex could see the tension between Clark and Chloe. "Is everything alright between you two?"

"Oh sure everything is fine." Clark lied, hoping to not get into details.

"Ha, sure… if you think ignoring your 'best friend' when anyone else is around as alright then hell sure everything is peachy. A ripe fucking peach." Chloe was mad and no one could lie about that. She had taken enough of Clark's bullshit and was ready to tell him off. She looked up at him, straight in the eye, but instead of words, all that came out were tears and Lex knew something was very wrong.

"Listen, Chloe seems upset from the accident, I will call my limo to pick us up and take her home. In the mean time Clark, go back to whatever you were doing before."

"No it's ok, I can take Chloe home. Besides, you need to talk to the police and everything about the accident."

Chloe looked at Lex and in the smallest whisper said, "Take me home."

"See, I can take her home. I won't be calling the police, its obvious that Chloe was upset, nothing bad happened. I was planning on selling the car anyway."

That statement made Chloe laugh slightly, 'Like he needs the money' she thought to herself.

Lex smiled at Clark and started to walk down the street to the Beanery. When they got inside, Chloe didn't even notice Lex had ordered her a coffee and was on his cell calling his limo driver. All Chloe wanted to do was get out of here even if that meant leaving with Lex.

"So, I will have you home in no time." Lex said as they got into the limo.

"Not my house. No one is home, I don't want to be alone right now. I always am alone, I don't want to be today."

Lex looked at Chloe, something happened between her and Clark. However, he knew now was not be the time to say anything. As he ordered the driver to go back to the mansion, he noticed Chloe was huddled into him, it felt so comfortable that he hadn't even noticed when she did it. He put his arm around her to help comfort her. It wasn't until a few seconds after that he felt the tears from Chloe on his shirt.

"Don't worry," he said as he held her close, "You're not alone. Not tonight."

Hope you liked the first chapter. Sorry it's been a while since I wrote. I was busy with plays. Plus there haven't been that many new episodes to put me into the writing mood. Hope you like!
